INTERFAITH WISDOM

Here is a short prayer - a child's first prayer - suitable for all faiths - apropos for Thanksgiving week in the U.S.

Thank you God for food so good,
and help us do the things we should.

Help us with our work and play,
and everything we do and say.

Amen.

For those of us a little older, we could pray this way on Thanksgiving.

Dear God, 

we thank You for the food we eat, help us to remember that many people in the world are hungry,

we thank You for the good health we have, help us to remember that many people in the world are sick,

we thank You for the friends here with us, help us to remember that many people in the world are lonely and alone,

we thank You for the freedom we enjoy, help us to remember that many people in the world are enslaved,

we thank You for all the gifts we have, help us to use them for those so less fortunate.

Amen
